Meet The Team

Kim Verronneau, Bcom

 

Kim's experience as a property stylist is fortified by her background in furniture design, fashion merchandising, time spent as a realtor and her business acumen acquired as a Certified General Accountant. 

​

With her Bachelor of Commerce degree in hand, Kim soon earned a reputation as someone who could manage the details needed in order to ensure projects were successfully brought to fruition.  Moreover, her design skills were immediately evident and soon Kim made use of this innate ability in order to transform humdrum retail displays, into attractive spaces that quickly drew customers' attention. 

​

Kim's experience as a furniture designer led her to refine her ability to improve balance and proportion within any given piece or room layout.  As a realtor, her involvement with home sellers  - and their varied spaces and contexts - allowed her to flex her staging muscles by helping clients maximize their homes' potential.

​

Today, as a partner at Capital Home Staging & Design and as a RESA member (Real Estate Staging Association), Kim consults with clients and puts her many years of practice to work for people who need to transform their spaces in order to engage potential viewers, and to maximize the potential return on their investment.
